Carla Hampshirechanged Overall Goal: "My son James made this for me; my favorite poem 'Success' and a photo from my October INBF competition! AWESOME! Thank you for such a thoughtful gift! 16 weeks out."
At this point I had NO idea that I would be competing this year. A trainer challenged me to join him in a 12-week pre-contest diet he was doing, just to see what it was like, and to go home and take pictures. This would be the beginning of a great journey. 122 lbs...21.1%BF!

DEDICATION!!! From only a few short months ago till now, the changes have been astounding. Once the decision to change was made, you put your heart and soul into research on everything bodybuilding, fitness and nutrition. You are living proof of what I've always believed; the iron has the ability to not only change one physically, but to improve all other areas of life. The tide is high; ride the wave! Proud of you son!

How blessed we are that in our 'corner of the world' we get to enjoy a peaceful, Holy night. May we always be mindful of the gifts of HOPE, PEACE, LOVE and JOY that were given to us that first Christmas long ago.
well so far we have zero snow so I am okay! Once the snow hits I will do more on the treadmill but I want to know what its like to do it on the street.
Thank you Carla! And all the best to you and your family for what is going to be a GREAT year! You will not recognize me the next time you come to Toronto! ;-)
They really can't help, but become fans. Specially since they get to see fisthand how hard we work. My mother is one of my biggest fans, and loves going to my shows. :)
